Spectacular silence?!
I want to comment on this scent, although I find it very difficult. This is difficult because, after testing it, I read a description of this fragrance on the net, which is almost exactly how I perceive it. I could therefore post the link here and give a short statement. Another possibility would be plagiarism. Copy and paste... A third variant would probably be to quote the description with reference to the source. I have decided on a fourth variant and try to make a reliable judgement in my own words, although I have to repeat that my nose is still not trained enough to make a reliable judgement. But sometimes the attraction lies precisely in the imperfection. "So let's get to work":
It is a very smooth, extremely pleasant fragrance that envelops and caresses its wearer - yes, it is really unisex. This also immediately addresses the point that (apart from the price) may mean that it will not find too many supporters. It doesn't really have edges and corners, it's a round, rounded fragrance, and on top of that it doesn't have too much radiance. The silage is restrained, a quiet scent, but this need not be a disadvantage. I admit that I am more of a fan of scents that are clearly perceptible and do not need to be sprayed on all the time. With the price of 190 € for 100 ml one should be able to expect some projection. But this is not the case here. Yet I vaguely claim that this is good for the scent. More silage would probably be too much. It certainly destroyed the fine tuning of the scents. And this is exactly what I like so much about this perfume: the coordination of the individual fragrances. Everything seems to be present and interwoven in the right measure. An exceptionally well balanced fragrance. So it doesn't bother that the scent (or better: the scent mixture) doesn't take a bigger development. Nevertheless, it does not seem too linear, because its scents change and thus prevent you from getting tired of this fragrance. He seems pleasing to me at all times. Slightly sweet and yet never too sweet, as the sweetness is captured by a subtle effervescence, probably due to the ginger, perhaps also the red pepper. Even the existing scratchiness is again and again captured by a pleasant balsamic creaminess. Not many perfumes have this property of changing scents, in my opinion. I appreciate them very much, because this prevents a fragrance from being too oppressive, which can be the case especially with sweetish scents.
Another nice thing about this perfume is that it lasts longer than you would think with the very distinguished silage. This is what happened to me frequently during the course of the test day, so that the scent, hardly believed lost, always returned with a slight breeze and expressed its presence. To a certain extent, the fragrance even lends an aura that remains discreetly in the room if you stay in it long enough, and which occasionally comes to mind.
As far as the individual fragrances listed in the pyramid are concerned, I believe that they are all perceptible from the beginning and remain so until the end. Even tobacco, which - as the previous statements show - is not perceived by everyone, is in my opinion very subtly pervading this fragrance composition from the very beginning. Only the oud is well hidden or so tame that it only seems subliminal. A fragrance, therefore, whose test even oud avoiders do not have to avoid.
What else is there to say?! Well, I had initially intended to describe this fragrance as well done, but "unspectacular", because I thought this - snapped up from a statement - was absolutely true. A fragrance that looks familiar, without a unique selling point, but quite well made and probably of high quality. But I shy away from it, because increasingly the conviction is maturing in me that there are few fragrances that are so well coordinated. This makes it quite spectacular despite its reservedness (but possibly also because of it). Some people might call it a "cuddly scent", an "embracing" scent, which might be true, but not because it has much more to offer than that.
This fragrance appears to me as an expression of a serene self-assurance, a gentle inner strength or a strong gentleness. (Does such a thing even exist?!) However, I am aware that this is possibly only a snapshot. I cannot exclude the possibility that I will feel differently with a certain time lag, because I have often felt this way before. So I'm not sure yet if the perfume will move in with me. Anyway, it seems more suitable for the cooler seasons, the end of which is foreseeable after all. I think I will test it again in late summer to see if it is a candidate for purchase for the coming autumn/winter, even if it is already on my wish list.
